ya i got temp ban, so i used an alternate account. they filter names yet they allow alcohol consumption. if its filtering out for underaged players then why is alcohol in the game? Incorrigible Ale-Hound? Drunkard? nice play keep being hypocritical ANET

You forgot obesity and partying until you faint xD.

Back on topic : I never got banned...but I'm sure that someone will find one of my name offensive for some dumb reason xD.

Wtf...Dildo Wielder? HA! No I haven't used "innapropriate" names. Mine are usually Aidin The ______ or ______ The Swift/Bold/etc.

....DILDO WIELDER...haha that's just really funny to me!

I just don't comprehend why people feel they need to have a "Funny" name at all. I say "Funny" but it's in quotes for a reason. I suppose I grew out of gradeschool, highschool, college and have gained maturity to the point where bathroom humor is just boring.

I have never once been banned even temporarily because of a name. It was actually quite simple to avoid the problem.

Step 1. Decide not to "Push the envelope".
Step 2. ???
Step 3. Profit.

I guess you either have a sense of humor or you don't. Creativity comes in many forms. You can have the typical lame name " Aiden the Archer " or the creative, well thought out Dildo Wielder. Unfortunately, ANET has the gavel and we have to play by their rules. The old argument " Your name is offensive" ..... " well your name is lame, and thats offensive to me " ..... it will never end :P

StormDragonZ · May 20, 2008, 04:20 AM // 04:20

If people had direct hatred toward the name Cervantes...

None of my names are remotely close to being "bannable".

Zahr Dalsk · May 20, 2008, 04:23 AM // 04:23

A game where you kill stuff, murder, and they're complaining about names.

lol...

itsvictor · May 20, 2008, 04:24 AM // 04:24

Never banned. Though I "verbally" abuse idiocy occasionally.

I wish I could rename some of my characters though. Victor Facebreaker for my warrior would be nice...

I think I have to disagree about Dildo Wielder being a well thought out name. Why not take some effort and make both a respectable and nonbannable name? It doesn't take that much effort, and you will be playing the character for quite some time. I don't think I could take my characters seriously if I had carebear names or bawdy names.

Koricen · May 20, 2008, 04:27 AM // 04:27

Really it comes down to either stupidity or apathy. When you make a name you should know what connotations could be made from it, and you should know that there will be a few little bastards that will report anything they can. So you are either too stupid to think of the possibility of a ban or you just don't care. Damn near all the names you people listed are worthy of a ban, I personally wouldn't report cause I couldn't care less, but I can see where the ban would be justified.

None of my names are remotely bannable.

My guild leader lost his mesmer because of the name 'Mez Yer Azz'. I mean, WTF? The only people that should offend should be huddled in a bomb shelter with a bible waiting for the rapture.

Nigel Tufnel · May 20, 2008, 05:05 AM // 05:05

Temp banned last week (3 days) for...

sofa king tired

Had the character for over a year and a half. Id agree if they temp banned me because its stupid, but its not offensive. Its how i play most the time.

Charlotte the Harlot · May 20, 2008, 05:09 AM // 05:09

I had Charlote The Harlot (named after an Iron Maiden song) and it got banned. What made me really mad is that one of the npcs during the quest Frog Stomp says harlot so I have no idea how my name could have been bannable.

jokermcc · May 20, 2008, 05:09 AM // 05:09

My original female mesmer got banned" Tig Bitties"

funny thing is that I have seen that name running around and it kinda pisses me off.

Zahr Dalsk · May 20, 2008, 05:14 AM // 05:14

I saw a guy named Juck Fesus. As far as I know he hasn't been banned, for which I am happy.

Vinraith · May 20, 2008, 05:29 AM // 05:29

I use names that actually sound like names, and thus never have these problems.

Snow Bunny · May 20, 2008, 05:52 AM // 05:52

Blowjob Sandwich.

Best name I ever made.

Then it got banned

Johnny_Chang · May 20, 2008, 06:14 AM // 06:14

My necro: Touch My Boner.

72 hour ban.

My armor is still customized under that name
